Manchester
United 1-1 AC Milan

Goalkeeper Joel Pereira missed a penalty but saved three as
Manchester United won a marathon shoot-out to beat AC Milan after a 1-1 draw at
the StubHub Center.

The 22-year-old, on at half-time, saved twice from former
Liverpool players Fabio Borini and Suso as United won 9-8 on penalties in a
shoot-out that lasted 13 rounds with all 11 players taking at least one.

Pereira had the chance to win it at 3-2 but saw his
spot-kick saved by Pepe Reina. Chris Smalling had initially stepped up to take
the decisive kick but was called back by Jose Mourinho in favour of Pereira.
Smalling scored in the next round.

It was a repeat of the shoot-out between the same two teams
in New York in 2004, with Milan running out 9-8 winners.

Sanchez got the opening goal after 11 minutes -- United's
first from opening play on this tour -- after latching on to a delicate lob
over the Milan defence from Juan Mata.

The lead lasted just four minutes with Suso taking advantage
of some sloppy defending from Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly and Axel Tuanzebe --
starting as a back three -- which allowed a long ball from Leonardo Bonucci to
skid through

Fernando Llorente and Lucas Moura both struck twice in the
first half as Tottenham began their tour of the U.S. with a 4-1 victory over
last season's Champions League semifinalists Roma.

A second-string Spurs side initially fell behind against a
similarly weakened Italian side in the International Champions Cup, with Patrik
Schick breaking the deadlock in just the third minute.

But Mauricio Pochettino's men fought back impressively at
the SDCCU Stadium and were three goals up at half-time, making light of the
absences of star men such as Harry Kane and Dele Alli.

Juventus 2-0 BayernAndrea Favilli scored twice in the first half as Juventus
cruised to a straightforward 2-0 win against Bayern Munich in the International
Champions Cup on Wednesday.

Favilli, 21, tucked home from 10 yards away after an error
by Bayern Munich goalkeeper Sven Ulreich, who misplayed the ball out of the
back in the 32nd minute.

And the youngster -- who spent last season in Serie B --
made it 2-0 before half-time, latching on to a classy ball over the top of the
defence and curling a fine shot around Ulreich to send his team into the
dressing room with a comfortable lead.

Bayern wasted numerous chances in the second half to get on
the scoresheet, but couldn't find the back of the net as Juventus saw out the
win.

Manchester
City 1-2 Liverpool

Mohamed Salah took less than a minute to score his first
goal as Liverpool beat Manchester City 2-1 in the International Champions Cup
at MetLife Stadium on Wednesday.

Saido Mane scored the injury-time winner from the penalty
spot after a clumsy challenge from Tosin Adarabioyo into the back of Dominic
Solanke.

Liverpool were trailing when he was introduced after German
international Leroy Sane, also behind some players in his preseason schedule,
raced cleared of the Liverpool defence and confidently fired a shot under
Caoimhin Kelleher for a 57th-minute opener.

Salah, Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum only joined up with
Jurgen Klopp's side in New York and the Egyptian forward, a 62nd-minute
substitute, again stood out, picking up where he left off last season when he
headed Rafael Camacho's cross past Joe Hart.

The 2018 Player of the Year could have had even more, but a
back-post header was cleared off the line and another shot clipped off the top
of the crossbar.

Maximilian Philipp scored twice but Borussia Dortmund fell
to Benfica after penalties in Christian Pulisic's return to Pennsylvania in an
International Champions Cup match on Wednesday.

The 22-year-old former Freiburg winger collected goals two
minutes apart in the first half to get the Germans going early. But Andre
Almeida and Alfa Semedo scored after the break for the Portuguese giants and
pushed the game to penalties.

Philipp opened his account in the 20th minute, poking home
Mario Gotze's low cross from the left, and then added his second not long after
with a volleyed finish of a beautifully worked team move that started in
Dortmund's own half.

Benfica struck back six minutes after half-time through
Almeida, who latched onto a Pizzi through ball and fired across goalkeeper
Marwin Hitz and inside the far post.

Semedo tied the score 18 minutes later when -- after seeing
his first shot deflected -- he pushed the ball into the box and slid his second
attempt into the net.

Neither team could find a winner, however, and the game went
to a shootout where Benfica won 4-3 to take the points.
